How do I add a wireless desktop to a network printer (HP all-in-one C7280)?

I work at a small office and we have three computers, a mac laptop, a mac desktop and a dell desktop. The two macs are already wirelessly connected to the printer but I can't get the dell to connect. I've already made sure that the printer is open for sharing. Any suggestions would be helpful!How do I add a wireless desktop to a network printer (HP all-in-one C7280)?
wazzup!!!, if you're just doing printing and i hope you're dell you're dell is running on windows xp, then try this...





1. go to you're printer, get the ip address.. {found under network menu)





on step 2.. assuming that printer driver is already installed and is found on printers and faxes window.





2. on pc, start%26gt; control panel %26gt; printers and faxes%26gt; right click on hp c7280%26gt; properties %26gt; ports tab %26gt; add port (lower left corner) %26gt; standard tcp/ip %26gt; new port %26gt; wizard shows up%26gt; click next%26gt; enter printer ip address %26gt; next%26gt; wait for the wizard to finish.. it will search for the printer in you're network... %26gt; next then finish %26gt; make sure that the port you added is checked...





3. try to print





NOTE!!! this will only work on printing... Scanning using hp solution center will FAIL!!!.. if want both features to work.. then you'lle have to install the printer software using the provided drivers on you can get it online...

Hello,











If your HP AIO is wireless (wi-fi) you can try the following, and set it up via wi-fi. It did work for my old HP3310 .











Here is the solution to the problem:











My setup: (make sure you are familiar and understand what is below before doing anything...)





1. Airport Utility: (in firmware 7.3.2)





Find the IP address of your HP 3310 (for example: 10.0.1.4) + MAC address (for example: 00:15:60F:39:FF), and note them.








2. In safari:





Type http://10.0.1.4/


You should get a web page interface of the settings of your HP printer.


Select tab ';Networking';


Select: ';Wireless 802.11'; in the side menu.


Select tab ';IP Configuration';


Enter: (this is an example)


Manual IP Address: . 10.0.1.4


Manual Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0


Manual Default Gateway: 10.0.1.1 (your router)


Manual DNS Server


Manual Preferred DNS Server: 10.0.1.1 (your router)


Manual Alternate DNS Server: . . .(your modem IP, if double NAT)





Press ';Apply'; (not much should happen on the screen)





3. Turn off your printer and restart it, and check if all is OK: print and scan functions.





4. Airport Utility:





Select ';Manual Setup';


Select the ';Internet'; Globe


Select DHCP


Add a DHCP reservation: 10.0.1.4 (HP3310) + Mac address


Press ';Update';





5. Check that all is OK: print and scan functions.





6. Update your firmware of your Airport Base Station to 7.4.2





That should do it!


Good luck.





Or contact me through IM and I will give my resume to your boss :)
